I hope we grow out of these soon.

Here's the recipe: Take Cloverfield, Transformers, Battleship, and as many clichés as you can possibly find. Now and crush them all together. Spread that out on any old worn-out story. Now add excessive shaky-cam and pouring rain in every scene so nobody can focus on how terrible it really is.
Fortunately I didn't care much about what I might be missing as it was simple-minded and predictable. I just wanted to get out of the theater and salvage what was left of my day.
I yearn for a return to some truly excellent science fiction. This isn't it. We seem to be stuck in a rut where impractical machines with as many moving parts as you can possibly render aim to keep our minds distracted rather than engaged and immersed as science fiction should be.
